Background: Research on PSMA PET/CT and pending FDA approval are predominantly aimed towards biochemical recurrence, rather than presurgical staging. Studies on the latter indication have almost exclusively investigated biopsy-proven cancers. / Objectives: We herein present the first in-man clinical evaluation of a novel F-18 labelled PSMA ligand, Florastamin, in screening for prostate cancer. / Materials and Methods: We recruited 2 men with PSA levels between 3 (the threshold for biopsy) and 20 n/mL. A mean dose of 267-370 MBq (8-10 mCi) was administered. Whole-body images were acquired at 90 minutes postinjection, followed by an additional pelvic PET/CT acquisition 30 minutes later. Conventional imaging (MRI) was performed within one week of, usually preceding, the PET/CT. PET/CT findings were compared to preoperative diagnostic MRI and correlated with final biopsy pathology.   / Results and Conclusion: Tweny-one patients, who had a median PSA of 7.02 ng/mL (range 3.24-18.6) were endolled in this study. Thirteen patients were biopsy-proven with prostate cancer, of which four were low-risk and nine were intermediate risk. PET/CT visual analysis identified abnormal [F-18]Florastamin uptake in at least one primary prostatic tumor focus in 11/13 patients at 90 minutes and 12/13 patients at 120 minutes. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy was 45.8%, 37.2% and 89.9% for MRI, and 3.3%, 99.3% and 97.0% for [F-18]Florastamin at 60 minutes, respectively. Delayed imaging showed comparable accuracy.  [F-18]Florastamin is a promising PET tracer that correctly identifies foci of cancer within the prostate with a higher acuracy that conventional imaging (MRI), and may be helpful in stratification of patients with low to intermediate PSA levels to better assess the need for an invasive biopsy.
